It is the object of this book to set forth the quickest and best method for every operation, in sewing. It is a handy book of reference, where the making of any part of a garment can be easily looked up.The making of a whole garment may seem a difficult proposition but, when thought of in individual parts, it resolves itself into simple operations. It is merely a series of joining seams, turning edges for hems, and sewing pieces together for pockets and other trimmings. Anyone who can run a sewing machine can join the pieces, if they knows how to place the goods and where to stitch

White's books were popular at a time when America was losing its vanishing wilderness. He was a keen observer of the beauties of nature and human nature, yet could render them in a plain-spoken style. Based on his own experience, whether writing camping journals or Westerns, he included pithy and fun details about cabin-building, canoeing, logging, gold-hunting, and guns and fishing and hunting. He also interviewed people who had been involved in the fur trade, the California Gold Rush and other pioneers which provided him with details that give his novels verisimilitude. He salted in humor and sympathy for colorful characters such as canny Indian guides and "greenhorn" campers who carried too much gear. Theodore Roosevelt wrote that White was "the best man with both pistol and rifle who ever shot" at Roosevelt's rifle range at Sagamore Hill.THE LEOPARD WOMAN is set in Africa.

He had a mew for every occasion, and Deanna understood everyone.Besides, he had ever so many little fascinating ways. He loved to sit beside her at her dressing table. Really, he would stand, with his forepaws on the glass top, and gaze with pride and pleasure at the reflection of Deanna and himself. No one could question his good taste. His lovely, blue-eyed mistress and he made a charming picture.

The sun shone straight into the breakfast room of the Martin House. It sparkled in the glasses of orange juice there upon the table, it glanced across the yellow and blue cloth, caressing the bowl of daffodils, it deepened the gold of the canary in his cage near the window, and it shone upon the early morning faces of the five little Martins. It was a golden morning, it was a cheerful morning, the kind that makes one glad just to be alive. The five little Martins were very much alive as their shining eyes and gay voices told...
